You all are falling down on your jobs. I'm in this month's Glamour Italia and you have yet to produce a single scan! I'm very disappointed and frankly surprised.

reminds me so much of Rachel Clark @ Morgane Le Fay Fall 2008

You all are falling down on your jobs. I'm in this month's Glamour Italia and you have yet to produce a single scan! I'm very disappointed and frankly surprised.

I don't see a thread for Glamour Italia - anyone have this one?

from Jenna's blog:

I shot a sunglasses editorial shoot today for Italian Glamour magazine. It’ll also run in US Teen Vogue and Italian Vanity Fair (Condé Nast publications often run editorials concurrently in different markets). The photographer was a five-months-pregnant, 38-year-old bundle of energy named Stefania who busily snapped pictures of me and Malin, the 16-year-old Swede who’ll be one of the three other models you’ll see when you pick up your issues of Teen Vogue this December make that February who knows? Aside from bumping me just as Corinne, the wonderful makeup artist, was brushing mascara on my left eyelashes, I thought Malin was pretty nice for a blonde Viking giantess. Good luck on your maths test Monday, Malin!
Stefania and Eduardo, the fashion editor, made a great team, and since the focus of the shoot was the sunglasses, I got to wear my own clothes (not having to change clothes in the back of a panel van parked at the Place Concorde = good day of modeling).
Halfway through the afternoon, Eduardo asked if I wouldn’t like to do a fashion editorial with him and Stefania in Sardinia. I said that would suit me very well, Stefania nodded enthusiastically, and Eduardo called my booker then and there to option me for the job. When a model accepts an option, she gives a client the first right-of-refusal on her services for the timespan of the proposed job: You keep your day, night, or week free, in exchange for a pretty good (but not 100%) chance of working (clients generally use options either when they’re interested in a couple girls but want to be able to change their minds, or when they expect the details of the job itself might change). The great news, aside from Stefania and Eduardo being talented individuals, smart conversationalists, and the job being in Sardinia, and it being for Italian Glamour? It’s a cover shoot. If it happens, it’ll be the end of this month.
Today, I saw Nina-Garcia-Fashion-Editor-For-Elle-Magazine. She was walking into her hotel, and she was wearing these shoes. I never would have thought she was the sportiletto type — to me they look like something Santino might approve of. Regrettably, I didn’t have my camera to freeze the wonderful moment in time.

Jobs? The condescending sense of humor is a turnoff.

haha, maybe you should read the blog!

 

[ViktorJetSet]

I did. my opinion: there are already too many model blogs on the internet capping on the same old things for me to find this one the slightest bit different or interesting

now who's condescending!

 

[ViktorJetSet]

what's condescending about stating my opinion that the content of a model's blog being too similar to the contents of other models blogs? There was nothing condescending about that.

What about the sunglasses?

I'm afraid I don't know what's become of that editorial, but I am of course looking forward to it coming out. The images from the second time I shot with the magazine are the ones that just came out. (You knew that, of course, I'm just clarifying for clarification's sake. I wrote about that second shoot here: http://photojenna.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/departures-and-arrivals/)

ViktorJetSet and Fontenrose,

The above squabble from yesterday should be finished now. I would appreciate it if we could keep this thread focused on Jenna's work. Disagreements are natural when people have conflicting opinions, but there are better places for less positive model comments. I would appreciate it if you could take any additional criticism to the appropriate thread. Thanks in advance for understanding.

Oops, the last picture was just a random picture from a new Jenna blog entry.

I realise I have no authority to even ask this, since I'm fully aware that anything I publish on the Internet is more or less publicly available in perpetuity, but I was wondering if I could make a respectful request that you refrain from reposting out-of-context candids I've taken of myself or others here on TFS without my permission.

I absolutely don't mind if you put work-related pictures of me here. But the goofy, after-hours, self-taken pics, when taken out of context, don't always carry the message I'd like to put forward.

Obviously candids taken of me by other people are the business of those images' authors and none of mine, and I can have no say in whether or not they should turn up here. But when they're pictures I've taken, I would consider it a personal favour if you'd leave them in situ, and just link to the relevant posts. Or repost chunks of text with the pictures, since that maintains the original context, which is my only real concern.

I can't explain it any better than I simply feel weird coming here and seeing a picture of my room-mate and I goofing off, when in the original post it's explained that we're goofing after a long day of work and as a consolation prize for missing out on going to the beach -- in the original post, the goofing is a scene in a kind of narrative, not a story in itself. I know you certainly intend no offense, let alone harm. But within my blog I actually try to be very careful about how I present the images and text I author, and given how easy it is to take a picture out of context and even unintentionally alter its meaning, I'd strongly prefer if you didn't.

Again, this is just a friendly request. Consider it an appeal to your courtesy, nothing more. I of course welcome, pore over, and deeply appreciate your interest, questions, comments, criticisms, of my pictures, job skills, and/or writing (occasional sarcastic comment aside). And anytime you want to quote a picture I've taken and blogged, along with its attendant chunk of text (or even some kind of synthesis of your own, since I know I can be wordy, and TFS hardly exists to serve me), you should feel free to do so. But seeing my personal candid shots here all by their lonesome makes me feel uneasy, is all.

If you understand where I'm coming from, I'd appreciate your help with this.

xx

you're actually offended by Jenna's 'job' comment? It was obviously said as a joke.
